Human nutrition is vital for agriculture. Many smallholder farmers are food-insecure and suffer chronic or acute forms of malnutrition. This can permanently harm the physical and cognitive growth of children, while reducing productivity as household members are less able to carry out agricultural work.

Agriculture is vital for human nutrition. Nutrition has long been considered mostly a health issue. However, agriculture plays an essential role in ensuring nutritional wellbeing not only for rural populations, but also for society as a whole.

Beyond producing food in sufficient quantity, agri-food systems should also:

• provide diversified, safe and nutritious foods;
• improve rural incomes and resilience, and thus enhance access to healthy diets;
• make foods that contribute to healthy diets available and accessible at national and sub-national levels.

To this end, we must build the capacities of farmers, agriculture extensionists, consumers and others, encourage innovation, investments and enabling policies, and address gender issues. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) uses a food-based approach to agricultural development to make the global food system produce better nutritional outcomes.

The Association AIBR (Antropólogos Iberoamericanos en Red) started in 1996 with the creation of El Rincón del Antropólogo (The Anthropologist Corner), a website that became one of the first online social networks of anthropologists in the Spanish-speaking world.

Our Association is currently formed by 551 individual members, and 10 institutional members. At this moment the AIBR Social Network connects over 8.200 anthropologists. This growth has helped us to consolidate an independent and financially self sustainable organization.

In November 2002 the Association was registered in Spain as a nonprofit organization. Since 2002, AIBR has been publishing the scientific journal AIBR. Revista de Antropología Iberoamericana (Journal of Iberoamerican Anthropology). The journal releases a new issue every four months, both in electronic and paper format.

The basic objectives of AIBR are:

• To promote and encourage the practice and development of Anthropology.
• To promote and support the exchange of ideas and opportunities among the well-known professionals of this discipline or those who are interested in Anthropology.
• To develop communication between related institutions among Spain, Portugal, and the American continent.

AIBR does not belong to any university or academic institution; neither does it follow any political or religious faith. It is a private, independent initiative that anyone may join. It is funded by means of the statutory projects and activities, and the annual subscription fees provided by its members.

AIBR accepts membership from individuals, institutions, and Academic Departments which may take advantage of the promotion and support of a growing network of Anthropologists in throughout the Iberoamerica.

Preserving land for local, agroecological farming is a growing issue in many parts of Europe. The amount of agricultural land is declining, as a result of urban and infrastructure development. Competition for land use is also growing, between farmers food production and other uses (timber, biofuels, fibres). As a result, farmland is ever more concentrated on large, intensive farms while small farms are disappearing. This is despite the fact that small farms are the cornerstone of European food security and key to maintaining a living countryside. They also , remain best placed to provide quality local food and preserve the environment. At the same time, the retirement of an ageing population of farmers, and increasing difficulties finding new entrants to replace them, may result in further abandonment of rural areas. The Access to land network brings together grassroots organisations from across Europe to share experiences and promote the significance of access to land for agroecological transition and generational renewal. Established in 2012, it functions as an informal network of about 15 organisations.
